FIGHTING FOR JERSEY CITY STREETS.


ARGUMENT AT TRENTON OVER THE PENNsYLvA-
MAS ELEVATED TRACKS.
TRENTON Nov 20 (SpecidD The people OF Jersey City
who feel aggreved at the proposed action OF Penn
syvaha railroad Company in elevatins its tracks from
Brunswckst easterly to It's passenger station rep
resented In the supreme Court today by exChancelor
hnnyon and William A. Lewis. who applied for writ OF
eertorari TO sever the proceedings of the Board OF Pub
lie Works of Jersey City in attempting vacate parts Of
streets and obstruct Others The plan the tracks
the counsel said In their argument requires the vacation
OF $40 feet OF Greenest and contempates the building
OF solid embsnkment about 305 feet wide and about
eight feet nigh across Greenes thus totally cutting off
ths section OF tho street from its other part and epriv.
ing the public and owners Of property along the
line OF the street from u-ng the thoroughfars
as heretofore The plan makes many psrtant changes
In grade OF streets necessary tho proposition pro-
vides no compensation for damageJ that will result
therefrom The impairment and partial destruction of
Wa'hiagtonst Is Involved In the project The people
hod that the action OF the Board OF Public Works In
granting those rights to The railroad company was un-
lawiul because the act OF 1874 undcr which II done
IL unconstitutional The counsel held furthermore that
the Board Of Public Works had authority to control
the use OF streets. such authority being aono in the
Board OF Aldermen
Ex-Governor Bedlo and Mcssrs James II. vrenden
burgh and Gilbert Collins appeared for railroad
pay. ty:, Ef-'ovcrnor heds made the argument He
clues may secure greater safety perens property
AMI promote the interests Of such cities These objects
may he secured by contract made by the proper
cpal authorities with the railroad company and for that
purpe.s streets may be vacated, the lines and grades
proper to carry out thu contract intended, be done
The necessity for the elevated track fully recognized
Pablo safety and interest require the elevation This
condition of things has arisen 81 the growth Of
pnohc business charged upon the railroad companes bv
law. Counsel maintained that tho Board of Public
Works had full power In the proceeding, and stated that
tho residents bringing this suit have no vested rights to
prevent the Boards action
The court withheld It's decision.
